No, this might surprise you, but the U.S. didn't invent racism. Just because they didn't have lynchings or racial segregation doesn't mean racism was non-existent there.Agent Larkin said:Only in the States you would be fine in Ireland or Britain. Britain because they had them for so long the hatred had pretty much disappeared in Ireland you would be fine because there would be lots of Novelty to your existence. Besides with all the Heroin and other opiates floating around legally it wouldn't really matter.The infamous SCAMola said:Unless you were a non-white, in which case I'm sure that period sucked.Agent Larkin said:None of these the only good decades were the ones between 1900 - 1945. Purely because of the fashion and the excitement.
Well it does, at it literally translates as pain of memories, and this isnt about thatThe infamous SCAMola said:Nostalgia. It sucks.

I gather you didn't hear of the 100 Romanians that were harassed by thugs and scared away from their homes in Belfast just a couple of years ago.
No i was born i 1993, yet i still love the eighties, Stand and deliver!!Geek@Heart said:In the words of the awesome Aqua song, Back to the 80's!
I still complain about missing out on the eighties by four months. Ridiculous, I know, as a baby you don't even notice these things, but still.....
I know the US didnt invent racism it was just less prevalent in Europe during the time. Also the Romanians were yesterday not a couple of years ago and that doesn't really count in any way against my point as im talking about contemporary times.The infamous SCAMola said:No, this might surprise you, but the U.S. didn't invent racism.

I actually meant a couple of days ago. Don't know how it ended up in years. And yes, it still counts. If this is the kinda stuff they're doing today, one can only imagine how it was 50 years ago.Agent Larkin said:I know the US didnt invent racism it was just less prevalent in Europe during the time.
